song of the moment: "Requiem" by The Teaparty
~~~
well, most of my bags are packed and ready to go. just sitting here looking at my bare walls and empty shelves and desk, kinda makes me sad. it's finally sinking in.. it's over! so i guess i'll write a very brief summary of my year...

the past 8 months have pasted so quickly. yet, when i think of... other stuff, time seems to have lagged quite a bit too. this year have definately been a turning point in my life. so many "firsts" and new experiences. my first time going to a school where i knew virtually no one. and the people i've met have been different too, now compared to when i first met them. i've never really been close to knowing the people in my rez at all. and my first friend here, steve, we're still friends, but not as close. i miss our shopping trips and movies (even tho we only went to one), and little jokes. oh well, he found new flute friends. anywhoo, mike, ian, shannon, francine, bethany, and tracy have been my closest friends, i would say, even though sometimes i'd have bottled up anger to them (not all apply and don't ask). i met sooo many cool music people, and too many awesome mems-- too much fun in practise rooms. breakfast after skills, lunch after theory, MCKITTRICK (need i say more?), house searching, late night get togethers, sleep overs at Conrad, "blind date" (it was NOT a date, just to clarify, and i'm banning myself from dooley's), party at beth's, movie night at mike's, concerts at noon, stressing about exams, juries, orchestra concerts and intensive weeks, music formal, girlie talks, art exhibit (me and amy!), my music "heros" Cheryl and Brandon, hours in the library, and my room i spend so much time in. i've learned to live independantly and cook for myself (it's actually tough...lotsa snacks), and in the beginning of the year, loooots of late night phone calls, tears, and laughs (if u know wut i mean), and more girlie (and bi, for ian) talks, and... secret visits?
the thing i will miss most in my room is probably my bed. it's been so significant, and it's so comfy too. i mean, you'd expect university furniture to suck, but mine were all new, and soo comfy. oh, i'm actually gonna miss my dresser too, cuz i never had an actual dresser before. anywhoo... i think that about sums up everything.

i actually would like to sincerely thank jeremy for being such an awesome teacher, and CAM (mckittrick) for being so damn hilarious. but if i get mckittrick again next year for theory, i'm gonna flip. ha. omg... what was that song from theory, about Johnny? i can't remember it, all i remember is me and Ian singing it at the top of lungs. good times!

okay anyways, wish me luck in puh-sych tomorrow. i will post again once i'm back in t-dot-oh!
